Hi i am a new user from England . Trying to work out the set up of Tiki Central. Take a look at my work as a steel "carver" http://www.steelingnature.co.uk The moai has halogen lights in his eye sockets
.
Wicked or what.


This was made from an old gas bottle Any comments ?

That makes a wood tiki carving look like child's play! I'll bet you've worked on a few hotrods in your time.

Thats very impressive work! Nice :D Although I do think you should have clear coated that gorgeous bare metal, that would have been sweet :D :D :D

Hi Hewey . The reason i left the steel untreated was so that it rusted to give the texture of volcanic stone as the moai were carved from , Thanks for your great comments about my work .
